Even if it is on social media forums where random people find you and slide into your DMs and make things difficult for you. There are many people who use the F-word frequently in their speech. And using it on social media forums or acronyms like these, the F-word basically adds more force to the sentence that the person is trying to say. Sometimes abusive acronyms are used in a positive manner, for example, CTFU, etc. But other times, it can be used in an aggressive manner to indicate the intensity of a situation such as “AF“,etc. You can judge the difference yourself in the following example. For instance, you are walking on the pathway and someone is continuously following you. You tell them to ‘Back off’ or you tell them to ‘Back The F*** Off’.
